Bolo (1979)
Reviewed by: mrblue on 2003-09-18
Bolo Yeung and Jason Pai Piao star as a pair of convicts sent to become the sherriffs of a small town (what kind of move is that?). Bolo decides to take his job seriously, while Jason just uses the postion to try and get closer to women and the stolen gold which got him put in jail in the first place. Most of Bolo is played up for comedy -- as many films tried to do after the success of Drunken Master -- and it works for a while, but the schtick wears thin in the latter part of the movie. But the action (directed by Bolo and Jason Pai Piao) is solid and makes Bolo a decent viewing for old-school fans.
